REGULATING IMMIGRATION.

Immigration bills come pouring into
congress like water through Louisiana
crevasse. Some are bad, some indifier-
entity good. some differently bad, but
none of them such rs meet the real
wants of this country In its present con-
dition of overlooked labor. The bill in
troduced by Senator Farwell, Of Chioa-
20, Is probably the best of the batch.
Its provision prohibltive against the in
coming Of Idiots, paupers, the insane
and cOnvicts are quite adequate. The
provision, stipulating that no i'm
migrant shall be landed who
has not sufficient means to
support himself and family, If
he have one, for period Of six months,
is one of its best clauses. Exceptions
are taken to this clause rs tending to
exclude the industrious, honest poor
who seek these shores to better their
conditions, as many OF these may not
have the means necessary to support
them here for SO long period. This
VhOiO NiuCe VI OhJNSNiOib iNS' VI
the fact that America, at present, does
not need and would not be benefited by
immigration OF any kind. II no emigrsnt
was to land upon these shores
for at least ten years TO come this cOun-
try would be the gamer and not the
loser. The first duty of this government
is to care for the people already here
and not for the people who are likely TO
come. The vast food of emigration
poured into this country for the past ten
years has added nearly 100000 to our
population, and the industries of this
land are not able to bear them. Every
occupation is crowded, every ave-
nue. OF labor has more labOrers
Offering than there is remunrrs-
tive employment for. Our farming
lands already yield more than there is
profitable market for and the foreign
demand is decreasing year by year. The
wages Of our common laOOrs, miners,
railroad hands, ETC., are forced down
lower and lower every year, and with
the influx Of emigrants the outlook
grows more serious yearly. The idle
are found in nearly every city OF the
country. and their number increases.
Not the willingly Idle, the lazy, and
the improvident, but the industri-
ously idle. Men who have looked
for work and looked In vain,
until their hearts are sick with hopes
deferred.
Under these conditions we want no
immigrants until the natural growth Of
the country has adjusted itself to the
unnatural stream Of population pouring
over the land and choking the very
breath out OF the nostrIls of home labor.
The situation grows serious. Congress
should enact such strict reguls-
lstions REFRESHING immigration as to
practically lay an embargo up
on It that would prevent it..
II no other way offers, tax the emigrant.
Tax him until he is compelled to remain
where he lie. Pursue the policy until the
equilibrium is restored between the sup
ply and demand for labor, and then ad-
NIT al increase that can be healthily
made through immigration. Admit IN
der some such regulation as Senator Far
welle's, limiting the number of emf
grants that will be admitted in any one
year, compelling registration In foreign
ports 10 regulate this emigration and
thus the evils may be sverted.

THE Atlanta Constitution dispOsCs OF
one foolish objection against the postal
telegraph as a government institution
in the following terse language: 1T
Ia said that government telegraph
would not be democratic, but anything
is democratic thai faVOrs the people, and
the people would own the government
telegraph" This from died in the
wool democratic journal is good enough
democratic doctrine TO suit even re-
publican, and certainly ought to be
democratioally acceptable. Postal tele-
grahy has come to stay. The agitation
begins, and as it proposes reform it
must continue. Time it will take, but
Uncle Sam has all the time that is left
for any one.

SAVED MY MOTHERS LIFE.

Ever since can remember. my mother has
suffered from a milk leg. Nothing would do
her any good. She had the best medical tai
ent, but they all did her no good. She suffered
with hcl leg for thirty years and never knew a
well day. She would have to set up half the
night, holding up her leg and moaning. She
had no peace. She used all the best known
remedies in the country without effect. i
asked her to try your CUTICURA REMEDIES
Got her bottle of CUTICURA RESOLyENT, and
she took it, and has taken IN all about six or
seven bottles, and now she is well woman
to-day. Her leg is entirely healed, and her
health was never better. She can go out every
day, something she has not done in ten years,
so you see cannot help stating to you about
your wonderful CUTICURA REMEDIES. You
have saved my mothers life. cannot find
words TO express my gratitude. | have nd
vertised your CUTICURA REMEDIES far and

Ocratic journals that the eX-fed-

own party, United States senators at
that, have expressed themselves as dis-
gusted and panied by his nomination,
but that as democrats they must vote
for his confirmation. The republican
senators who vote for him will be held

A BLOODY ARRAY.

KIMBERLEY, Mimi, Aug. IA large
number of Indians, fusion ofthe Chippewa,
Winnebago and Pillager tribes, are camped
near here engaged in picking berries. A
very pretty young squaw was married some
weeks ago to an old Indian who had a
young son living. Two young Indians from
one of the other tribes aroused the ire of the
old husband by intimacy with his wife. The
Jealous red man shot one of the invaders of
his happiness and frightened the other oil.
This happened Friday afternoon. Early
Sunday morning the surviving Lothario en-
coun.ered the old man and son, killing the
young man and seriously wounding the Sc
nior. This little domestic difficulty has
caused division of opinion IN camp.
Threats Of wholesale slaughter are made by
both factions The few settlers in the vi
cnity are alarmed at the turn Of affairs and
believe clash will occur very coon.
